By Gina GomezJuly 25, (THAINDIAN NEWS) “The Spider-Man” director Sam Raimi is all set to begin directing his new film “Earp: Saint For Sinners”, a film adaption of the comic of same name. The director has reportedly planned to put a new twist in his story while portraying on the old west version of the hero Wyatt Earp. Sam Raimi, Jesse Berger and David Manpearl will co-produce this big budget film for which Matt Cirulnick, the original writer of the comic series will write the script.

Corral set in future where he takes on “outlaws” in a ravaged society in Las Vegas.

A reputed media source said that Sam Raimi has stepped down from directing any future projects of Sony Pictures’ “Spider-Man” series and since then he has been open to all offers and was in talks to direct “The Wizard Of Oz” prequel and “World of Warcraft” along with “Earp: Saints for Sinners”. However, the cast has not been decided yet and the media expects that the director will announce the whole star-cast very soon. The Radical Publishers are also expected to make an official announcement for the making of the film shortly.
